She offers straightforward support for those wanting better communication, calmer days, or more control over their feelings. Joanne has ten years of practice and brings a calm, practical style to sessions.
Her approach centres on the person in front of her. That means listening first and tailoring the work to what each client needs.
Background and approach

Sessions often focus on simple steps and things people can try between meetings. Joanne has worked in hospices, in independent practice and in educational settings including schools and universities.
She has experience running sessions online and by phone, so she can adapt to different ways of meeting. Her background means she is used to supporting people with grief, chronic illness, caring responsibilities and complicated life changes. Clients may bring issues such as relationship difficulties, parenting strains, sleep problems, addiction concerns, trauma and abuse, or struggles with self‑esteem and identity.

Approaches Joanne lists

Online support
Solution-Focused Therapy looks at small steps that lead to change. Sessions focus on identifying clear goals and practical strategies to reach them. It can be useful for anxiety, sleeping problems, coping with life changes and situations where people want fast, actionable ideas.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Joanne will work with each person to decide what fits best based on their goals and preferences. That collaboration means plans can change as needs become clearer during sessions.
Online work with Joanne is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video helps when visual connection matters, phone calls are useful when less bandwidth is needed, chat can suit short check-ins and text messaging works for ongoing, flexible contact. These options make it easier to fit counselling around work, family and daily life.
